Zhang Lei: A Farm Cottage ~ 《田家》 张耒 with English Translations
《田家》北宋张耒写的一首七言绝句,此诗描写了田家荒芜的景象,表达了作者对蝗灾的忧虑。 《田家》 张耒 门外青流系野船,白杨红槿短篱边。 旱蝗千里秋田净,野秫萧萧八月天。 A Farm Cottage Zhang Lei In the river, before the door, a deserted boast is moored; Poplars and althaeas stand by a hedge low and short. Drought and locusts have cleared the autumn farmland a thousand li across; In a month for reaping, only wild sorghum remains, forlorn and shivering.
